Pest Control

Overview

Pest Control

Do you want to preserve your home’s value and structural health? If yes, then you must protect your house from termites and other pests. Of course, it would lead to expenditure on hiring pest control services.

But do you know that a single colony of termites can cause huge damage that would take around $3000 – $5000 to repair? And this doesn’t include the residual costs associated with lost value due to of having a history of an infestation.

To prevent such pricey bills and loss, you must call a professional pest control company to survey and correct the problem. Such a company can safeguard your home from pests, termites, roaches, spiders, ants and many such home invaders.

It’s recommended to put on safety measures even when your house is pest free at present. However, if your house is facing an invasion at present, the company professionals can also help you get rid of it safely and quickly.

Average Costs of Pest Control

The average cost pest control companies charge ranges between $150-$500+. It can vary according to some factors like:

  1. Level of infestation.
  2. What kind of infestation is there.
  3. What’s the location and size of your house.
  4. What kind of billing structure company follows.
  5. On what day or time, you’re availing the services.
  6. What an amount of labor goes into the job.

And many more. Here are some common price examples:

Insects: The cost depends on how long you want the effect of pest control measures to stay. For example, the cost of keeping it insect free for 90 days lies between $50 to $70 while the cost of keeping it insect free for a year would range between $200 to $500.

Rodents: You will have to pay $75 to $100 for pest control for rodents.
